MERRY MAKING.
Our young folks held an evening So
ciable at the residence of Mr. >. b.
Grey's on Saturday evening last which
was attended 10y large number of his
friends. and was greatly enjoyed by all.
Some fine music was discoursed by Mr..
j. Lynch and Miss Sadie Benjamin. The
merry making Was protracted well on to-
wards Sunday morning when the happy
band dispersed and returned To their sew
eral homes.
MUCH ADO OVER NOTHING.
We noticed correspondence in last
week issue OF the cecil .Stdr written by
Jim, in which he aifirms that a young
man while waiting on one of our girls
met with a serious accident ON Sunday
night last. Now we are sorry for Jim
that his memory is such that he cannot
relate simple facts but must paint them
up from til. lurd hues of his own imagi-
nation until the truth is not recognizable
Now sc know OF no such serious acct
dent happening, but merely little mis-
hap. So don't be alarmed boys, call and
see our girls whenever You like. Our
neigh b1rhood unlike that of Jim is
not infested with miscreants.
RELIGIOUS MATTERS
The protracted meeting at our church,
-"Bethel" which had been going on
since early last tall is now virtually over.
Having no minister, the members held
the meeting themselves, aud have at the
result of their iabors near thirty CONVEX
Sl"ns. Think of it, thirty less sinners in
this neighborhood. May they not slacken
their energies, but work on with renewed
vignr in the vineyard of the Lord. We
now have regular supply of preaching
every alternate Sunday night by Rev. C. |

A Water Find at IndiO
Station.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC BUSINESS
Weshouts on the Yuma Branch
Work ON the River Levees-
Fresh Notes.

Yesterday morning the men en-
ployed by the Southern Pacific Com
pany in the great desert, three miles
east of Indio, to bore an artesian well
struck steady flow of pure water at 9
point $40 feet below the surface Of the
earth. This is most important strike,
as there is no water nearer Indio than
that at San Gorgonio, which is fifty
miles away, and is not Of any use to
the country surrounding Indio. The
men have been at work upon this well
for the last six weeks, though their
work has been interrupted at times
to do something else, now, however,
that water has been found, everything
will be done at once to increase the
Flow.
The present outpour is only about
10000 gallons to the hour, owing to
the sand and clay, which has almost
clogged up the pipe. The engineer
sent to headquarters yesterday to get
q rope for the purpose of removing
the distractions from the pipe, and a.
soon as this is done, it is believed that
the flow will amount to nearly $4,000
gallons per hour. The pipe now used
Is six inches in diameter and runs to
the bottom of the well. Drilling will
be continued until q much greater
flow is secured, when the water will
be piped to the company's tanks and
the over-supply will, in all probability,
be used for irrigating purposes. The
country surrounding Indio is par
tiularly fine; the soil is splendid,
and fruits of all kinds grow there to
enormius sizes. Watermelons, grapes
and pears ripen at least one month
earlier there than in the immediate
vicinity of Los Angeles. Several other
wells are now being drilled, and
should the supply prove sufficient, in
all probability town lots will soon be
placed on the market and a thriving
little city started. The water is said
to be strictly pnre, with no alkaline
properties. The present well is stu
ated only twenty feet from the com
pany's tracks. Indio is about one
hundred and fifty miles from Los An
geles, upon the Yuma Division of tht
Southern Pacific Company.

The Calling Gun is an outgrowth Of a
boyish attempt on the part OF the inventor
to construct q corn planter: 1t Is now q
grave planter. Those merchants and others
who compel their girl help to stand all d-y
could be classed with 1t as grave planters,
as they kill more even than the famons gun.
The requirement., SO common In mercantile ,Ie
establishments, that clerks should remain
is terribly hard upon both sexes,
but especially on delicate girls.

experiences: ~ have been suffering from

much anxiety lest some parts Of the
line should be washed away. AT
Cactus two very slight washouts did
occur yesterday morning, which de
layed the trains about six hours,
though everything was repaired and
in proper shape for travel by o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The damage
was very slight. The indications are
for more rain along the line, but the
management does not anticipate any

THE s. P.'S BUSINESS.
An Immense Amount OF Freight I
Both Ways.


Both Ways.
The Southern Pacific Company's
business is rapidly approaching
simply enormous proportions. The
scene around their depot yesterday
was one Of greatest hustle and confu-
sion, and yet, during all this noise, a
perfect system prevailed, and every
man was at his post of duty at exactly
the right time; consequently every.
thing moved as easy as if upon
wheels. The warerooms of the
freight department are crowded al.
most to overfowing with miscellan-
eous assortment of freight from all
parts of the world that would take
columns to name. Over three hun
dred cars are loaded and unloaded
every day, making grand total OF
nearly 5400 tons of freight handled by
the company in the space Of twelve
hours.
One hundred and forty cars OF
freight, consisting of coal, lumber and
general merchandise are received on
an average each day from San Pedro.
Thirty carloads of merchandise OF
every description are shipped from the
city of Los Angeles by merchants each
day to merchants in the neighboring
towns. A scarcity of coal is reported
in the city, as are canned goods of all
sorts. Turkeys, chickens and eggs
are received every day from Kansas
and Nebraska to help keep up the sup
ply, as the home producers cannot
meet the demand. Yesterday the Sec
ond train of raisins from California
to New York was shipped
from Fresno via the Sunset
Route. The train consisted OF
twenty cars and is being rushed to its
destination without loss of time.
From fifteen to twenty cars are
being hauled in from Deming by the
Southern Pacific Company each day,
that has been diverted from the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Company.
This is not a part of the delayed
freight, but is what the shippers think
will come through quicker by the
Southern Pacific Company than by
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Company. Yesterday about thirteen
carloads of emigrant movables were
brought in and delivered. Amongst
the lot were couple of horses, a COW
and lot of chickens.
